"We are looking forward to seeing you soon!"

Nationally ranked as one of the "Top 10 Aquariums in the Country" by ForbesTravelor.com and TripAdvisor.com, The Florida Aquarium is home to more than 20,000 aquatic plants and marine animals from around the world!

See river otters, alligators, stingrays and sharks in natural exhibits! If that isn’t close enough, guests can immerse themselves in interactive dive programs like “Swim with the Fishes” or “Dive with the Sharks,” where coming face to face with a 250-pound Goliath Grouper or Green Sea turtle is common place. Here guests can actually become a part of the exhibit in an up-close and personal experience underwater.

Didn’t bring a bathing suit? How about one of our Behind the Scenes Programs like “Penguins: Backstage Pass” or "daily Shark and Stingray Feedings?" The African Black-footed penguins don’t hang out behind acrylic either, see them face-to-beak in the ‘no borders, no barriers’ Penguin Promenade daily.

Where are the dolphins, you ask? Come aboard the brand new, double-decker "Bay Spirit II" for a Wild Dolphin Ecotour and see these amazing animals in their natural environment. Tampa Bay is home to more than 500 bottle nose dolphin and there is an excellent chance of seeing them from one of our daily Ecotours.
